I work with a lot of servers and I was going to create a menu with up 50 entries to various shares or folders across multiple servers.

Rather than doing this one by one, is there a way to dynamically create a menu based on say a text file something like this:

SHARE_NAME, SHARE_UNC
Share_Main, \\SERVER_X\Open
Share_Test, \\SERVER_Y\Test
Share_ITE, \\SERVER_Y\ITE

I seem to recall this type of functionality already exists but I can't find it.

Thanks

maybe skrommel's Text2Shortcut can be of help.

Thanks for the suggestion. In the end I created a folder with shortcuts to the folders\shares and the menu is dynamically created using a node type of 'Folder'.
